STRENGTHS:He's bigger, faster, and stronger too. He's the first member of the DK crew. (couldn't resist that)

WEAKNESSES:He's hurt easily.

BACKGROUND:Taking into account Cranky Kong's history, Donkey Kong was originally Donkey Kong Jr. He first appeared to rescue his father from Mario, who had locked him away for kidnapping Pauline, an act Donkey Kong would eventually commit himself.
Despite this, DK is very kind-hearted, and is always ready to defend his friends from his own arch-nemesis: the Kremling King K.Rool. He even has a girlfriend!

EVOLUTION:He hasn't chaged much over the years aside from the timeskip between his childhood and adulthood.

QUOTES:n/a.

STATS AND STRATEGIES:Games: Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 March of the MinisHP: 6Offence: 1Defence: 0Speed: highAttack Pattern: He appears randomly for the most part, and attacks with projectiles such as fireballs and coconuts.Basic Strategies: Study the layout of the stage and determine the best way to attack. Donkey Kong will not let up, even if you've just started, so hammer him as soon as possible.Advanced Strategies: Some stages Donkey Kong is on a spiked platform, so you'll need to bounce mini-marios of the walls. In the final boss fight and secret boss fights, you need to send mini-marios up ladders to activate some mechanism to hit Donkey. Make sure to use it only before it dissapears.
